Winter Tires and Wheels

Jsolo, you may be right with the all-season idea, it's a tough call. My last car, an '03 Acura CL-S was terrible in the cold, even in the dry. That said, they were high performance all seasons. Maybe a more cold weather oriented all season would be sufficient (assuming there is such a thing). Anyway, thanks again for the info !

HankL, I really appreciate the effort in taking that close-up pic! I'll need to take off my wheel and measure to know for sure.

I put 245/45/18" Hankook W409 studded on my roadster with sport package. Works great. I'm in Manitoba and though warm this year we get real winter here. Only concern is ground clearance but as I don't drive to work I can wait till the roads are plowed.
